Made it here!

Our flights, to london and then into Accra were relatively uneventful. No lost luggage, not really any delays. Walking off the plane in Accra was like hitting a wall of heat though. Heat and mass confusion. Akwasi's sister Adwoa (pronounced like Adjoa) and father Nicholas met us, thank goodness. People ran up to help us, similar to ants converging on crumbs.

It was pretty dark when we landed, so we couldn't see much of Accra on the drive to Akwasi's house, but there were tons of people out, waiting for public transport. Akwasi's mother, Victoria, had just about the biggest smile I've ever seen, greeting us at the door with his other two sisters. Everyone was very excited, friendly and welcoming.

  1. I suppose you are catching up on your sleep today. A wall of heat sounds good right about now. We had a foot of snow and it's cold and windy. How hot?

    So glad we get to keep hearing from you! Thinking of you. We wiped snow off your car today.
